    "lede" instead of "lead"? Wow, defamer has really gone downhill the last month in the proofreading department.

    @LabanGaia: "lede" is actually the proper spelling of that term in a journalistic context. it goes back to the days of the printing press in which internal newsroom communication (a chalkboard) didn't risk confusing the lead (you know the element Pb) with the lead for a story. So that's how lead became lede.

    Now you know - and knowing is half the battle.

    (i learned this from a journo prof. way back when and seldom have an occasion to tell people)

    Good lord. Just because this movie had a little emotional value, people slam it. It was funny. And there was character development. And it wasn't cliche. And it was nice to see Eric Bana and Seth Rogen play different roles than they normally do. I guess people would have preferred the typical comedy that we've all seen a thousand times. It's nice to see a movie that pushes the boundaries of its genre every once and a while

    You know, what? I loved it. And it's kind of sucks that this movie will probably be panned everywhere for being overly sentimental.

    @Trulymadlyme: I liked it too. Compare it to other "serious movies" or to other "funny movies" that have come out recently and I liked it better than both. It's just a movie.

    Moviegoers prefer their Adam Sandler to be dumb and their Seth Rogen to be fat. They like it when their "funny" movies have a running time of less than 2 1/2 hours. Oh, and Judd? Next time you insist your main character has some fatal disease, be sure you cast an actor who is marginally likable. That way, the audience will root for him rather than the disease.

    Did anyone else notice a shift in the advertising for this movie in the last week? Any notion of seriousness and bromance disappeared in fave or dick jokes and lame riffs on Harry Potter and German accents.

    I haven't see the film, but it seems to belong to this baffling new comedy genre that's been in fashion for almost a decade that features plump, dumb guys as the heros. Trying to segue the plump, dumb guy into interesting dramatic characters appears to be a non-starter though, at least we can hope so.

    Whatever. Heigl is gorgeous. After all, it's only what you look like that's important (according to Hollyweird). Her head could be completely empty for all I care.

    I'll make the call: Moneyball will be the next Titanic.

    Oh wait, did you think I meant Titanic, as in the embattled James Cameron feature that went way over budget and was almost certainly DOA from all of the bad press leaking from the set every day? No no, I meant the actual ship.

    "K-Fatterline" is really funny, way better than I would have expected from La Spears. I should go lie down until this feeling of wanting to hang out with her, eating Doritos and trashing our exes, passes.

    @City_Dater: Don't forget "classy." Funny, classy and compassionate. Especially since Brit herself was relentlessly mocked for the weight gain accrued during a stretch of committed boozing last year, which basically drove her nuts.

    PS: They both make me sick.
